I surprised by the negative reviews I have seen here. I've been going to this place for ten years and I love it. The wet burritos are huge and only cost $5. The carne asada and chicken tacos are the best. Pros: Super friendly staff more

I've been on the quest for the great burrito. I am a lover of beans and am always disappointed when this essential foundation of Mexican cuisine is a failure; I have little faith in a restaurant's ability to cook more complicated dishes when they can't get the beans right. The beans were bad...they tasted like flavorless paste. When I ask for something simple like a bean burrito I shouldn't get a confused look nor should it be stuffed with fillers (lettuce, rice, etc). A great burrito is simply the filling, maybe some onions, salsa, cilantro. Pros: Chips and salsa, prices Cons: Food, location, and environment more

Moved to Charlotte 4 months ago from Atlanta and have been STRUGGLING to find some good mexican. After reading the good reviews here, my wife and I decided to venture over. I don't understand the positive reviews unless these people have never had good mexican before. The chicken on my quesadilla was extremely poor quality, very dark in color, chewy, and fatty. The salsa seemed to be made with tomato paste, onions, cilantro and nothing else. Completely inedible. The hot sauce that is brought to the table. Can't put my finger on it but it taste strange. Tostada and taco were bland and ingredients seemed to be poor quality (steak was fatty and chewy). The cheese dip with chorizo was good I must say. Pros: Cheese Dip w/ Chorizo Cons: Food isn't very good. more

Some of the best Mexican I've had, especially in Charlotte. Tiny, hole in the wall place, but excellent food, and the prices can't be beat. I had a taco and burrito, both of which among the best I've ever had, and my total was just over $5. Can't beat that, especially considering how large the burrito was--I could only eat half of it. Try the pork adobada (spicy marinated pork) or the chorizo--both were superb. Pros: Excellent food, excellent prices. Cons: Somewhat hard to find, hole in the wall. But that can be a good thing... more

Nowadays, taquerias are all over charlotte but none of them can compete with taqueria mexico. I'm the kind of person who can seriously live off of mexican food, and I have been eating at taqueria mexico for the last ten years. The prices are incredibly low, you can often buy two entrees here for what you would spend on one at a fancier restaurant. The staff is very friendly, they certainly speak enough english to accomodate anybody. My parents became such frequent customers that the staff recognized them and would bring them their usual meal and unsweet tea each visit without being prompted. more

Taqueria Mexico esta mas macho!!! This is the only restaurant in Charlotte I will go to for Mexican food. Don't come here if you're looking for Taco Bell, that's for kids! Grow up and order some authentic tacos from here and you'll never run for the border again! This hidden gem is the find of the year! more

I'm often the only gringo in the restaurant, which is often the best sign that you're eating authentic Mexican food. The only establishment that rivals Taqueria Mexico is Restaurant Y Taqueria La Unica on Central Ave. Pros: superb seasonings, sizzling salsa, quality meats Cons: location more
